    Just text (crutch) to save the game to the list. Such things. Maybe I'll do a review later.

    A game that both visually and gameplay is very well achieved. A pity that suffered the unjustified hate of the fans of the dmc saga since it is a great game and does not deserve it.

    Hay que ser muy cerrado de mente para puntuar esta maravilla de juego con un 0 porque no sigue la saga principal, la variedad de armas, enemigos, movimientos, gráficos es excelente, se trata de un universo paralelo, un spin off y es el mejor spin off de un juego que jamás he visto, muy por encima de DMC 4.

    Para ser sincero, no recuerdo demasiado de este juego. Era el primer Devil May Cry que jugaba y no lo sentí tan malo. Es cierto que el Dante original le pega unas cuantas patadas a este, pero es disfrutable. Lo que no me explico es por qué decidieron hacer un reboot, después vieron con el 5 que el público quiere seguir con la línea clásica.

    Gameplay is ok with a **** story and cringy dialogue that misses the whole point of the original series. Don't recommend buying it since the original story continuous.

    Definitely an underrated game. Beautiful visuals, and good bossfights. With the DLC's, definitely worth the money.

    If it hadn't been for the legacy of the classic series this game would have been a great slasher series on its own. Ninja Theory put a lot of effort into art and gameplay so the game feels and looks interesting enough to return to, especially as a separate experience from the main series.

Ninja Theory put a lot of effort into art and gameplay so the game feels and looks interesting enough to return to, especially as a separate experience from the main series.
    With that in mind the weakest part of the game has to be its story still. The plot-points are pretentious and very dull, being on the nose they often make you cringe with how crudely they're put together. It makes for nice set-pieces and very creative visuals despite everything mentioned before. So even if you ignore superior classic DMC lore, it's still a naive tale with very straightforward delivery.

    The highlight of the game is it's gameplay, it's more approachable than the main series yet still provides a challenge (granted not nearly as difficult as the main series of course). This re-release also gives smooth 60 fps performance so desperately missing from the original release and the combo style system is stricter, the fighting balance is tweaked, so that it's a bit more difficult than the original game. In general it's a modded PC version which should've been released in the first place.

    If you come into this fresh you will enjoy it, but maybe not the story and the writing, if you have already played it you won't find much in it unless you really love the game and/or for some reason haven't played it on PC. If you're a fan of the classic series, try to look at it as a separate experience and you might get into the combat.

    Overall, very solid, but the writing is cringe.    … Expand

    This was the first Devil May Cry game that I've played. Ninja Theory has done a fantastic job and I realize that their work here is at the same level of quality as any Platinum Games or Team Ninja game.
    The combat is stellar and I actually liked the characters and the story. It was a joy to play.

    Worst Devil May Cry game I played next to DMC 2

    It's not even the same series, unlikable douchebag and his douchebag brother, villain is a joke and the story was written by a child who just started to learn how to swear.

    Even with the improvements, it does nothing to win me over

    Звук и картинка прекрасны, и на момент прохождения особо не состарились, боевка тоже хороша. Игре не хватает возможности сразу выбирать высокую сложность типа Сын Спарды и выше, проходить на Нефелиме всех боссов и битвы с первого раза, это весьма серьезный недостаток. Вызова хотелось с самого начала, а не при повторном прохождение, которое возможно и будет, но явно не после титров.Звук и картинка прекрасны, и на момент прохождения особо не состарились, боевка тоже хороша.

    Remastered games are all the rage as of late with God of War 3, Darksiders 2, and Borderlands Handsome Jack Collection all on the horizon, and I'm loving it. I am a big supporter of these games being re-released because then I can put away my old consoles and just have out the two. DMC Definitive Edition is no different.

I am a big supporter of these games being re-released because then I can put away my old consoles and just have out the two. DMC Definitive Edition is no different. Now I am a big fan of this reboot of Devil May Cry. I was a fan of the original series and I think that this breathed fresh air into the series while keeping the crazy, silly, mayhem intact. This review will be a bit different, I will discuss the changes they made to the original game and then go into detail on the DLC Vergils Downfall, and then give a score of the overall package. So lets get into this SADISTIC demon killing game.

    The original DMC was hated by some and thought a fun experience by others. This game touts that it has rebalanced gameplay. I personally don't notice too many changes to that besides the fact that now some of the weapons are more powerful than they were before. The people who play Devil May Cry on the Dante Must Die mode will most likely be able to tell if there was any minor changes to the combat. They added new costumes to the mix in which you can play looking like Dante from Devil May Cry 3 or how I played looking like Dante from Devil May Cry 1. A nitpick with this costume feature is in certain scenes mainly transition scenes Dante will go back to looking like he normally does. I do say that this is a major nitpick because I would be sitting in my office chair going, "no game I didn't choose grunge rock Dante? **** you game I want white haired semi gothic Dante". Something like that. They did add a Hardcore mode and Turbo mode which I didn't touch because honestly just didn't feel like it. The last thing that they upgraded in this game is the graphics. This does look a lot better than DMC on the 360. They definitely fixed the Unreal Engine texture catchup that Unreal Engine 3 had. Nothing annoyed me more than seeing textures not fully rendered in a cutscene so it is nice that they fixed that.

    Okay now to talk about the added DLC Vergils Downfall. I missed this originally so I will briefly talk about it.

    The story is about what happens to Virgil at the end of DMC, and how he becomes one of my favorite villains in video games. While this Vergil is a little more like whiny Anakin from the prequels he is still fun to play as. My biggest problem with this story is they use drawings for cutscenes instead of rendered animation. This really brings me out of the storyline, because I personally hate that lazy **** I don't want to see some storyboard I want to see a cutscene or nothing at all. In saying that I will say this story does make me want to play more games as a villain because the end of this is so badass I was left wanting more.

    The gameplay is a little different. He can't do a lot of what Dante can. Mainly double jump; the lack of a double jump after I just played the entire game with it drove me nuts. His combat is a little less smooth. I found myself getting hit because the animation to the move he was doing was too slow. Being that his combat is slower I didn't get the combo meter as high as I would with Dante. I do appreciate that they made his fighting style different, I just wish they spent more time refining it. They add a couple new enemies, like some vagina face gorilla monster, and these disappearing crow things, but overall you fight the same porcelain baby faced demons from DMC.

    Overall the DMC definitive package is for newcomers or fans of the 2013 game. If you hated DMC I don't see this game being drastically different enough to change anyones' opinion. I personally loved playing DMC again and my only complaint would be with the DLCs gameplay. I give this a 4/5. For forty dollars this isn't a bad game to revisit. I leave of course with a question. Will we ever get PS2 games like (Devil May Cry 1, 2, and 3) on the PS4, Xbox One?    … Expand

    Developed by Ninja Theory, DMC is a reboot of the popular Capcom series focusing on half-angel/half-demon Dante, and his quest to kill the Demon King Mundus. Upon it’s initial release last gen DMC received a quite frankly ridiculous amount of criticism, much of it aimed at Dante’s new look and persona, and unfortunately that overshadowed the fact that this is a very good action title.Developed by Ninja Theory, DMC is a reboot of the popular Capcom series focusing on half-angel/half-demon Dante, and his quest to kill the Demon King Mundus.

    The story itself is the usual video game nonsense, but in gameplay this is a top tier action title. The core of the game is built around the excellent combat system, which allows for the use of heavy/light weapons, boomerang like projectiles and a variety of guns, all of which can be switched between on the fly. Certain enemies require certain weapons to be used, but it’s the style ranking for each battle (that rewards variety) that will encourage players to experiment with different combinations. The only real disappointment in this regard are the boss battles, few of them involve anything more than dodging attacks and gradually whittling away at your enemies lifebar.

    If you’re an action game fan, ignore the silly internet criticism and give this a go.    … Expand

Eventhough the game doesn't look all that impressive, it really does play well as Ninja Theory sacrificed graphic quality for a smoother performance. The combat has been improved and the addition of a lock on feature as been added so you can take on those annoying flying demons that throw bombs at you. If you haven't played DmC, I would recommend it, it is a great game standalone, but as a Devil May Cry game, it doesn't stand up to DMC1, DMC3 or DMC5.… Expand

    Certainly a lot different than the previous Devil May Cry games, which is mainly the reason why a lot of people consider it to be the worst game in the saga. Not me though, because if you can adapt to the gameplay and forget it's related to the other Devil May Cry games, it's a very fun game.

    While it's a solid action title, DmC doesn't measure up to the queen of the genre, Bayonetta. Ninja Theory's combat and graphic design illustrate their talent, but the weaker environmental exploration and narrative make the game an uneven package. Fans of the action genre may find a lot to love, but for most, this is a title better left in Limbo.
